Saudi Arabia Reference Projects for Oil & Gas Applications

NEWSLETTER  JULY 2012

Saudi Arabia: Remarkable reference projects for oil and gas applications!

Since 2010, Ceramic Polymer’s high-performance coating is approved for ”Saudi-Aramco-Standards”!

More than 20% of the global crude oil is located under Saudi sand. The state-owned enterprise ”Saudi Aramco” is the biggest oil production company worldwide. Beside further 100 oil and gas fields, ”Saudi Aramco ” owns with the ”Ghawar oil field” the largest oil reservoir and holds therefore the largest proven oil reserves of 260 billion barrels. By several subsidiary companies, amongst others the major tanker fleet and various joint ventures in oil and gas industry, ”Saudi Aramco” is the most profitable and valuable corporate group at present times.

Coating products have to provide outstanding properties to meet the APCS-Criteria (Aramco Protective Coating System) and get accepted for ”Saudi Aramco” application.

Our product CK-54 SF-APCS-2i was tested extensively by research laboratories of ”Saudi Aramco” and was approved for application in accordance with their demanding requirements of the standards APCS-2i, APCS-117 and APCS -28.

Specific aspects for the achieved approval were e. g. the excellent chemical resistance at high operating temperatures up to 150°C and the extremely pressure resistance, which was proven by autoclave-tests with explosive decom- Condensate stripper pressions. Qatif – Gas and Oil separation plant #2

More than 300 tanks were already coated with CK-54 SF-APCS-2i!
